| Annotated paper: | Alsabban AH, et al. "Kinesin Kif3b mutation reduces NMDAR subunit NR2A trafficking and causes schizophrenia-like phenotypes in mice" EMBO J. 2020 Jan 2;39(1):e101090 PMID:31746486 |
| Figure(s): | Figure 2, 3, 7 |
| Annotation description: | Figure 1: KIF3B binds to the NR2A complex. Figure 2: KIF3B is essential for the postsynaptic localization of NR2A and NR2B in hippocampal neurons. Figure 3: KIF3B transports NR2A, but not NR2B. Figure 7: The expression of KIF3B, but not mutated KIF3B, restores spine morphology and NR2A surface expression. |

| Additional literature: | biochemical characterization of KIF3A/B/C in rat brain. @ PMID:9487132 immunoprecipitations in mouse brain lysate show KIF3C associates with KIF3A, but not KIF3B. Also shows KIF3B/C in synaptic biochemical fractions and microtubule binding characteristics of KIF3C @ PMID:9450952 KIF3A/B are enriched in the same synaptic biochemical fractions prepared from mouse brain. KIF3A and KIF3B form a heterodimer in vitro that provides plus end--directed motor activity. The KIF3 complex Is a heterotrimeric motor in vivo. @ PMID:7559760 |
